Epilogue
The entire country of France was in mourning over the death of Agent Chauvelin. He was given a state funeral and was bestowed with every honor the French government had to offer. A small monument was butyl for the fallen hero on the place he was laid to rest.
One week after he was killed, Louis XVI was tried and sentenced to death and soon after the Reign of Terror began. The people saw this decline in the government as a direct result of the agent's death and began to worship and pray to the man for help. Because he was murdered by the Scarlet Pimpernel, France's greatest enemy, he was seen as the last true revolutionary, and when he died, the ideals of the Republic died with him.
When Napoleon came to power, he declared Chauvelin a martyr, which was met with the fervent approval of the people. The city of Calais was rebuilt and where Chauvelin fell, a shrine was built to honor the legendary hero and martyr. The grounds where his blood was spilt and where he was laid to rest were declared holy ground by the church of France.
Shortly after he died, Mercier and Coupeau discovered his will, in which he left everything he owned to any children he had. This included an enormous fortune equal to about half the total wealth of France.
As soon as Andrew returned to England, he married young Suzanne De Tournay and had two children, a boy and a girl. Out of fierce anger of being physically unable to further aid the League, Andrew trained himself to walk on his crippled foot, and Percy allowed him to work with the League once again.
Tony took every opportunity presented to him at any form of social gathering to show off the impressive scar on his chest, which attracted the sympathy and admiration of every lady in the English court. He married a French woman and had three children, a boy and twin girls.
Armand St. Just married Marguerite's long time friend, Louise, and had one son. Though both he and his wife loved France dearly, Armand's loyalty lay with his sister and his leader, and both agreed that it would be safer to raise their son in England. Courtesy of Percy, they moved into a small countryside villa not ten miles from Blakeney manor.
Marguerite went through her pregnancy without any complications and gave birth to Chauvelin's child, a healthy golden-haired boy. He looked enough like his mother to be easily passed off as Percy's child, despite the fact that he possessed his father's pale, yellow eyes. A year later, she bore Percy's son andsoonafter they were blessed with a girl.
Percy kept up the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel until the fall of the Committee, when he stayed home as a fulltime husband and father. Life at Blakeney manor was peaceful during their children's' childhood, but Chauvelin's son was too much like his father for the serenity to last. It didn't take long for the boy to discover the truth about his father, and he left home to seek revenge on his father's murderer, but that's another story entirely.
